Access to RNA-sequencing data from 1,173 plant species: The 1000 Plant transcriptomes initiative (1KP)

, 2019
The 1000 Plant transcriptomes initiative (1KP) explored genetic diversity by sequencing RNA from 1,342 samples representing 1,173 species of green plants (Viridiplantae).This data release accompanies the initiative's final/capstone publication on a set ...

Secrets within stems: The cryptic Apodanthes caseariae (Apodanthaceae), a rare neotropical holoendoparasite

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Holoendoparasites are extremely rare plants that live entirely hidden inside their hosts, with only flowers and fruits visible. We studied Apodanthes caseariae, found in central and South America, parasitizing Casearia sylvestris. Little is known about its life cycle.

Size isn’t everything:rates of genome size evolution, not C value, correlate with speciation in angiosperms [PDF]

, 2015
Angiosperms represent one of the key examples of evolutionary success, and their diversity dwarfs other land plants; this success has been linked, in part, to genome size and phenomena such as whole genome duplication events.

A pipeline to compile expert‐verified datasets of digitised herbarium specimens for automated plant identification to accelerate taxonomy

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Understanding and protecting plant life is essential for tackling the twin challenges of biodiversity loss and climate change. To support this, we have developed a new digital approach that helps identify plant species more quickly and accurately.

Chemoinformatics-driven classification of Angiosperms using sulfur-containing compounds and machine learning algorithm

Plant Methods, 2022
Background Phytochemicals or secondary metabolites are low molecular weight organic compounds with little function in plant growth and development. Nevertheless, the metabolite diversity govern not only the phenetics of an organism but may also inform ...

Molecular evolution and diversification of phytoene synthase (PSY) gene family

Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2022
Phytoene synthase (PSY) is a crucial enzyme required for carotenoid biosynthesis, encoded by a gene family conserved in carotenoid-producing organisms. This gene family is diversified in angiosperms through distinct duplication events.

Comparative insights into molecular pathways influencing germline development in early-divergent angiosperms. [PDF]

Plant J
SUMMARY The molecular and genetic mechanisms regulating female germline development remain largely unknown in basal and early‐divergent angiosperms. This contrasts with recent progress in model eudicots such as Arabidopsis thaliana and monocots, such as rice, barley, and maize. In this study, we investigate the genetic pathway governing female germline

The Role of Developmental Genetics in Understanding Homology and Morphological Evolution in Plants [PDF]

, 2007
Homology assessments are critical to comparative biological studies. Although gene expression data have been proposed as instrumental for defining homologous relationships, several lines of evidence suggest that this type of data can be misleading if ...

Phylogenetic reconciliation provides new insights into the evolutionary diversification of the glutamine synthetase gene family in seed plants

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Phylogenetic analyses of glutamine synthetase (GS) in seed plants revealed that all three major evolutionary lineages (GS2, GS1a, and GS1b) must have been present in the common ancestor, with GS2 being the first lineage to diverge. Unlike GS1b, GS1a and GS2 are usually single‐copy genes, even though they underwent duplications that resulted in ...
